shot is accomplished by early preparation of racket on the left side, torso facing left front corner, then a sweeping jab to the right. elbow first. Beach's torso hides the ball. a dip of his head adds weight to the shot. Palmer commits forward and left in order to pick up the ball in the front left corner. wrong-footed! Beach pulls his elbow L-R and breaks his wrist after hitting in continuation of the momentum of his elbow and the racket head.
The commentary is wrong here in regards to Beachill holding his shot. He didn't hold his shot; he just went up and hit it. What was amazing about the shot is that he made it look like a straight drop when it wasn't, without flicking his wrist. I've not seen this done before. Usually this sort of deception involve a last moment wrist flick, but Beachill keeps his wrist firm, which can be clearly seen on the slow-mo replay.
of course
